Some of my clients like
the idea of a Boot Camp or the type strenuous
exercise on The Biggest Loser, but most would
get injured from such activity. I designed this
free program with 20 days of therapeutic
exercises to reinvigorate your exercise routine
and help you start to get in shape—or recover
from an injury—with modifications to suit your
situation. Each day has several assignments
that take from 15 minutes to an hour to
complete. One of the most important parts of
meeting your wellness goals (or aging without
becoming decrepit) is to make it a priority,
every day. None of the assignments is onerous
and some even seem too easy to make a
difference, but the combination will surprise
you.
This link takes you to Day 1 of the
challenge. Use the menu on the right side of the
page to get the assignments for following days.
